I used to be confused about why people would build soul ring on pl, but can sort of see a use for it as an emergency item either to getaway, or to get a kill, along with some early health and mana regen. Even though I've never built one..can see it being some sort of use, maybe perhaps they skip wand or ring of aquila.

Theoretically it allows you to completely force the opposing laner out of the lane.

However you can do that even without Soul Ring or a KotL, so Soul Ring is essentially a waste of 800 gold. Don't get it.

To split push more efficiently when the need arises. Create more space for both ur team and for pl to squeeze in even more jungling. Hurts my brain to see pl saving ww (the more mana efficient spell) just for escape when you already know where the opponent heroes are. Keeping both spells always on cd is pretty mana demanding.

Putting more than 1 point in dopplewalk early game is wasteful. Putting those early points in juxtapose is going to help you split push and farm more than dopplewalk will. Spending 800 gold on a soul ring that won't actually help you do anything apart from use an extra lance every 30 seconds or so is also wasteful. If you don't have a kotl, a magic stick and a simple sobi mask will keep you going well enough.

Haha, that guy must've recently picked up dota again. Back in the old days when everyone was bad, that was pretty much a common build for him.

So why exactly are roughly 70% if not even more of the players so obsessed with playing carry? Worst part is that of those people roughly 85% suck major ass and can't even farm a midas within 10 minutes in a complete empty lane, if their life depended on it.

If you don't trust them to farm and carry properly you'd better pick a carry to cover for them.


but then your entire team would be 5 man carry and you'll be the only one with gpm above 300 because everyone else dives for kills and feeds and then you're dealing with lothar's drow and dsjfsgdhjkfhdehusad


Yeah.

But then you come to this thread.

Enemy Jugger is in our jungle looking for a kill. 4 of us surround and kill him. He goes:

"5v1"
"Noobs"

Not really QQ, just hilarious.

KotLs can go wrong in so many ways.

My favourites are the ones who pick up a few early kills with illumate and decide they're pwning. They'll then start illuminating down creepwaves while typing "lol guess I'm carry kotl now since you're all noob" and go for dagon or something.

Meanwhile our actual carry has to go skulk in the jungle because there's no creeps left.

Hmm, I think KotL is best used on the suicide lane, or at least when I play him I prefer him there. With some good warding he can both put pressure on the enemy jungle and put pressure on their carry and still be relatively safe. Also a KotL with some early kills and an early level advantage will become very scary early game. Personally I think KotL needs some nerfs. When he gets ahead a bit in the early game it becomes scary fast, level 4 illuminate, mana leak with stun, teleporting teammates right to the battle, an 80% miss AOE blind with knockback.

But, luckily most KotL players will only see the illuminate instead of the support beast and jungle annoyance KotL is . For fun lane Enigma and KotL together some time, they have great synergy imo .

This matchmaking is just so, so random. And everyone is so randomly BM. Not actually critical of play or build or anything, just yelling "YOU BAD".

Lets review my last few days with some choice selections:

- The aforementioned Nyx game where I went 23-11-12 with about half the kills on my team, we lose and my team flames me for being bad.

- Three games later I get an All Random game. Team rolls KotL, Jakiro, Omniknight, Death Prophet and Medusa. Not too bad. Medusa safelane with a support, maybe trilane with two supports. Death Prophet mid and semi-carry build. Put the excess offlane to get better levels. Pretty solid plan, right?
Nope. When most of us are already in game Medusa yells "repicking" and before anyone can stop him he's rolled...Lion. Great. Other team has a goddamn Gyrocopter and we're lacking a hard carry. Why would you DO that when you've got the main team carry? -_-
We need to finish early. Which never works well in a pub where people tend to sit back and farm. We're probably dead.
But no...the team communicates, works well together and we push down lane after lane and tower after tower. Lots of aggression and unconventional item builds and we just killed them. I don't think I've EVER seen an early push strat work so well. Had them back to their base in about twenty minutes, took the game in about 30.
Seriously...wtf?

- Couple games after that I'm on Antimage. Visage is attacking and pushing the lane for me. Thanks man. -_-
Little while later I'm getting yelled at by Drow to get involved in teamfights rather than farm. I'm reluctant to do so but to make him shut up I end up giving in. And subsequently dying because I'm not farmed up yet. Then KotL starts yelling at me for getting involved in teamfights. So by now I'm yelling back telling them to just shut up and let me concentrate on farming rather than asking for contradictory things. I try to lane farm but by this time their Phantom Lancer is majorly fed and I get the living hell ripped out of me (he follows me around a few lanes). More yelling from KotL and Drow. I stalk back into the jungle in a foul mood.
Drow spending most of the game moaning abuse at me whilst I'm quietly farming up and occassionally getting a pickoff. I walk out of the jungle at about the 40 minute mark. We finish the game at 50 with me on 9-4-9 and being basically unkillable with Heart, BKB, Manta and Bfury.
Just...people need to learn to shut the hell up in pubs with regard to blanket statements; particularly if there's a chance they'll massively show you up later by straight up 5v1ing the opposing team. Its not helpful and its distracting. If you've not got something useful to say then don't say it. Criticism with advice is fine. Criticism with "lol you noob" is useless.

- Couple games after that one I had a Lifestealer who decided instead of going in the jungle he'd come and autoattack my lane where I was trying to solo farm as Sniper and feed the enemy team. When he DID go jungle (in-between waiting for their tower to kill our creeps so theirs pushes out a bit so he can autoattack it again) he kept using open wounds on neutral creeps, blowing all his mana. Lategame whenever the team was all down he'd solo push a lane and die. Never with the team, never bought Armlet (got a Vanguard instead), etc etc.
Happily we won anyway. I managed to find enough farm to build Lothars and Manta and the rest of my team were really well coordinated and good players so buy the time I managed to get my Daedalus we were able to just push into the enemy base and wipe it out.

- And then finally the game right after that I'm Centaur. Team is Tusk, Mirana, Nyx and BH. Nyx and BH take suicide lane, was hoping they'd get some ganks. Mirana mid. Me and Tusk teaming up to Snowball/Stomp combo (worked pretty well). Gondar hardly ever used track. Nyx somehow went 2-12-20 having apparently gotten himself killed every time he roamed for ganks. Whole team would run away whenever I initiated getting me murdered (although damage reflection from the passive and Blademail would usually drop them all to about 100 HP each, so if my team had just been there would have been easy kills). Every time we'd pick off two or three of them I'd be pinging like crazy and asking to push, fast...nope all run back to base.
Horrendous loss. -_-


At least I'm on a relatively good winning run at the moment but still...some of these players just ugh. Even when you WIN it can put you off playing and get you annoyed sometimes.

I really, really hate when people who has been positioned to get levels and farm make a solo decision that the game is over, and stop trying to win. For instance if you're playing a solo suicide windrunner and spend the first 10-15 minutes dodging 3 man ganks and dying twice to them but not giving up first blood. So when I'm struggling as hell to find some xp and farm, the jungle into midas doom decides the game is lost and starts building dagon 5. Often I enjoy playing solo suicide, but sometimes it's hard not to feel abandoned by the rest of the team only to be shat on later by the very same.

I've read both your posts, and yeah Dota 2 can be a pretty rage-worthy game. Just gotta look at the half-full glass, such as playing a great solo-suicide game, or managing to get a good GPM despite retarded lane partners.

On the subject of participating in teamfights/ganking despite not having sufficent farm/mana/whatever: Don't do it. If you're playing AM, just farm the battlefury that you so badly need, you're contributing MUCH more to your team this way than participating in a teamfight and dying instantly, effectively fucking yourself in the ass and delaying that BF/Manta by another 5~10 minutes. Yeah, one of your teammates might start yelling at you, but if you participate in the fight against your will all that'll happen is that he'll yell at you even more and you're in a worse position than you were before.

Just play as -you- know you need to, and after you prove your worth the guy will shut up. Or he won't, big whoop either way.

I can´t even remember lineups or opponents other than we had a decent lineup, 2 supports atleast. I am Luna top lane on dire and i have to solo it for whatever reason vs a CM and QoP. Needless to say i do horribly farm wise and they often rotate with another 2 top to gank my ass. Come 15min i'm like 4 - 4, not too bad considering. All the while BH has rotated top to "help that noob" by stealing a bunch of lasthits instead of roaming around to gank. At this point i just say "fuck it" and go full on china rice mode in our woods. I somehow have managed tranqs and aquila and half a drum despite my terrible lane.

Now my team starts to do dumb shit, BH jumps CM when shes grouped with 4 people and so on. Needless to say our tier 1 and 2 towers start dropping like flies all the while my team keeps yelling at me to come defend them 2/3 vs 5(since someone has overextended and caused a push) and i just ignore them, and keep ricing for a bit. At one point i do join up when i have my manta but not bkb and i manage to kill enemy CK carry and he drops a gem. I ping it like mad so they can pick it up since we have BH and a shadowblade guy. Nobody picks it up, then 2min later BH notices enemy has gem, checks chat for the drop and goes "Which one of you retards bought a gem?" And they argue for a few minutes about who is the idiot on our team that bought the gem, they all conclude i bought the gem and call out to report me for being a "stupid shit noob". I'm baffled at their stupidity and tell them that CK bought a gem because we have two stealthers, use your brain idiots. They keep calling for report and telling me to stfu since im a noob.

A few minutes pass, and then, motherfucking time to win. Enemy push as 5 in our midlane for our rax, and i just type "time to win noobs" and meet them halfway, 1vs5. I have my BKB now, manta, aquila, drums and treads. Pop my ult, manta, bkb and i kill 4 people, solo. QoP blinks away to safety. I then again, solo, take enemy t2 tower, mid raxes, another t2 tower, t3 tower and another melee rax. Solo. My team is farming in the jungle or "defending the base" vs some creeps despite us not having any raxes down.

They don't say a word after this since i die, then buyback, buy BoT's and finish the game when they finally arrive in enemy base. Damn that felt good. Had to leave the game with "Fun to win alone as always".
